Answer : 2. "Rs. 2.04"
Explanation :
Answer: B) Rs. 2.04 Explanation: Compound Interest for 1 1⁄2 years when interest is compounded yearly = Rs.(5304 - 5000) Amount after 11⁄2 years when interest is compounded half-yearly Compound Interest for 1 1⁄2 years when interest is compounded half-yearly = Rs.(5306.04 - 5000) Difference in the compound interests = (5306.04 - 5000) - (5304 - 5000)= 5306.04 - 5304 = Rs. 2.04

Answer : 2. "4 %"
Explanation :
Answer: B) 4 % Explanation: Imension of the duster is assumed as 5x5x7 cm3 Volume of the duster below the water layer= volume of water increased= πxrxrxh = 3.14×52×2.14 ≈ 168 cm3 Total volume of the duster = 5×5×7 = 175 cm3 Percentage of the duster part below the layer = 168×100/175 = 96% Percentage of the duster part above the layer = 4%

Answer : 1. "36 kmph"
Explanation :
Answer: A) 36 kmph Explanation: Let the speed of goods truck be 'p' kmphDistance covered by goods truck in 10hrs (4+6) = Distance covered by other truck in 4 hrs. 10p = 4 x 90p = 36kmph.Therefore, the speed of the goods truck is p = 36 kmph.

Answer : 2. "OH-"
Explanation :
Answer: B) OH- Explanation: A conjugate acid, is a species formed by the reception of a proton (H+) by a base—in other words, it is a base with a hydrogen ion added to it. On the other hand, a conjugate base is what is left over after an acid has donated a proton during a chemical reaction. Hence, a conjugate base is a species formed by the removal of a proton from an acid. Because some acids are capable of releasing multiple protons, the conjugate base of an acid may itself be acidic. Represented as the following chemical reaction: Acid + Base ⇌ Conjugate Base + Conjugate Acid The water molecule is the conjugate acid of the hydroxide ion after the latter received the hydrogen proton donated by ammonium. On the other hand, ammonia is the conjugate base for the acid ammonium after ammonium has donated a hydrogen ion towards the production of the water molecule. We can also refer to OH- as a conjugate base of H2O, since the water molecule donates a proton towards the production of NH+4 in the reverse reaction, which is the predominating process in nature due to the strength of the base NH3 over the hydroxide ion.
